Shannon and her husband Tom were ending a perfect day on the water in Stone Harbor, NJ. As they stepped off their boat at the marina, disaster struck. Shannon lost her balance—and her brand-new iPhone slipped from her hand into the harbor.
In shock, she watched it vanish beneath the surface.
Knowing time was critical, Shannon grabbed her husband’s phone and searched online for help. She found RingFindersSouthJersey.com and quickly connected with John Favano, a trusted expert in lost item recovery.
John is known across South Jersey for finding lost rings, phones, and valuables from beaches, backyards, and underwater.
Luckily, John was nearby and arrived at the Stone Harbor marina within 20 minutes.
Shannon pointed out exactly where the phone had fallen. The tide was low—a perfect window for recovery. John geared up and entered the water with his underwater metal detector.
The murky water made the search difficult. At first, John found only clamshells and debris. But he kept going. A few minutes later, he got a strong signal.
He reached into the muck, feeling around carefully. Then he smiled and joked, “There are some big clams in this harbor.”
He pulled up a dripping wet iPhone.
Shannon’s face lit up. She was stunned—and thrilled. Her phone had been retrieved fast, increasing the chance it could still work after drying out.
John said helping people like this never gets old. “Every recovery is unique. Seeing that joy on someone’s face is why I do it.”

Jason asked if I could look for his wedding band that he was sure was lost forever. Gave it a 3% chance of finding but had me look anyway for closure. He estimated it was lost on a sandbar in the gulf about 50 feet off shore and within a 250 linear foot sandbar. I Started a grid and found it just about in the center of the area. Jason was attending to his baby back at the condo when I found it but the rest of his family and in-laws were watching my progress from the beach. Everyone was impressed with the recovery thinking that the search was a folly. Jason was extremely happy and I’m sure the rest of his vacation was regret free. Glad I could help! 
Sue lost her wedding ring set at Gulf Shores a couple day before calling me for help. She didn’t know where to go and it took a day or so to find someone who could help. I told her i would be there first thing in the morning. I met her where she and the family were staying and we walked to the beach area she thinks it was lost. She wasn’t sure how it was lost, where it might be or if it was even on the beach but felt hopefully it was on the beach. She talked about the day it was lost and her activities and locations. The house and car had been searched and it wasn’t there, so logicly it must on the way to the beach or somewhere on the beach. She showed me the various places they were on the beach and the routes to and from those various places. With that information I put together a search plan and proceeded. After about 30 minutes and after digging several other targets I got a very good signal and knew i found something good. I dug it and showed it to Sue who shouted you found it! She was very, very happily. I’m glad I found it for her, it made both our days. 
Jason lost his wedding band in the sand at Pensacola Beach on Sunday. He called that evening and i said I would help and agreed to meet first thing Monday morning at the beach. Jason had a fairly large area identified as the target area. There wasn’t anyone on the beach and the weather was comfortable. I started a grid and searching it pretty fast while Jason was working the phone lining up his days business. Fortunately his ring was in the area he designated. I found it in record time and it was back on his finger and he back to work on time!
